One of her favorite reading spots over the summer.
A stack of books from the library.
Couldn't possibly "waste" time in the car - must read!
Another favorite spot.

The Reader
It is no secret that Elizabeth loves to read. She is rarely without a book and there are times when Lee and I have to force her to leave them behind. She enjoys books of all kinds, but seems to have really fallen in love with fairies, mermaids and mythology. The Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Sisters Grimm and Fablehaven series have enthralled her, causing her imagination (and her vocabulary) to really take off. She also uses her reading as a crutch, turning to it when she doesn't like what is going on around her or when she is having difficulties with the kids at school - because of that, we are always pleased when she comes home from school and has failed to make any progress in the book she brought with her. Between the last day of second grade and the first day of third grade, Elizabeth read 109 books (for a total of 384 in 2012), the vast majority of which were more than 200 pages (and lately, 300 or 400 pages) long. We hope that books and reading continue to inspire her!

That's really awesome. I used to read like that when I was a kid and always hope that some day the motivation will return to me. I'm lucky to get through a book a month - and I commute on the train. Go Elizabeth!
